Mother's Day Sprite card (Aurora Wings image)

Hi crafty friends,

Aurora Wings are giving us this gorgeous sprite to play with for free (not sure if it is still available), isn't that so generous of them, the image is so sweet! I loved using this colour combo, I always love using black as it seems to make the rest of the card pop. I used an old Fiskars grass border punch.

Hexagon Rainbow Mother's Day card No.2

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's the opposite Mother's Day card to the one I just showed. How great is it when you can create 3 cards from one sheet of inked up/die cut paper? I love this one best but I was really happy with how both turned out considering I didn't like my ink blending on the thin watercolour paper I used. Once I'd peeled off the die cut the hexagons were all left in the die so I put down a double sided adhesive sheet onto cardstock then put the die cut over the top and pushed each hexagon onto the adhesive so they stuck, it was so easy! I had to find a couple of the little bottom and top hexagons. Then I added glitter to the white adhesive bits. You can see in the second photo how the two cards look side on. This one was my favourite of the two so we gave it to my Mother-in-law who loved it.
